One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Novi battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the individual does not feel high but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
