One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Lakeland Shores who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the user doesn't feel high and also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
