One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Dearborn Heights struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low amounts however, the individual does not experience being high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
