One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Saline who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are addiction. With low doses however, the client does not feel high and also does not experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 a 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 monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
