One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Woodsboro who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low doses the client doesn't experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are other choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around 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 which blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
