One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Flint struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high and also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, 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 on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling 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.
