One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Clare who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low amounts the individual does not experience being high but also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
