One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Cadillac struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough doses the individual does not experience being high and also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
