One of the out-patient treatment options for clients in Lansing struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low amounts however, the client does not feel high but also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option 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 in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
