One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Central Lake who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low doses however, the client does not experience high feelings and also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med used 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, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
