One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Grand Ledge who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses the client does not experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
