One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Woodworth who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses the user does not experience being high and also does not have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
