One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for people in Eaton Rapids struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the user does not experience being high and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, 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 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 opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it 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 monthly.
