One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Woodbury who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low amounts however, the user doesn't experience being high but also does not have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately under $200 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 can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
