One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Dimondale who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking 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 is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
