One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Woodbury battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the client doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
