One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Woodstock who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the user does not feel high and also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
