One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Burton battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are addiction. With low amounts however, the client doesn't feel high and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $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 can only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. 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 therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
