One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Rousseau who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low doses however, the individual doesn't feel high and also does not have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 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 that is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking 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 costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
