One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Caledonia battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses the client doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
