One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Rives Junction battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low doses however, the client doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA 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 about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
