One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Grosse Pointe Park who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low enough amounts the client does not feel high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming 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 per month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
