One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Harbor Beach battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low doses however, the client doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, 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 around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
