One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in St. Ignace who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the client does not feel high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as 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 drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which 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 in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
