One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Edwardsburg who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough amounts the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. 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 costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug 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 injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
