One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Warren who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low amounts the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, 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 costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
