One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Genesee battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low enough doses the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
