One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Beaumont who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts the client does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, also known as 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 approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
