One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Pleasant Lake who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low doses the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
