One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Woodgate who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low doses however, the individual doesn't feel high and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
