One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Monroe struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the client doesn't feel high and also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
