One of the out-patient treatment options for clients in Pleasant Lake battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low amounts however, the client does not feel high and also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are a few more options currently 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 on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication 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 per month.
