One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Macomb struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses the client does not experience being high and also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone 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 on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
