One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Hubbard Lake who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low enough amounts however, the individual does not experience high feelings and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
