One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Bronson who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the user doesn't feel high but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost 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 which is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA 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 opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
