One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Sunfish Lake who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are addictive. With low doses the client does not feel high but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient 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 approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder 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 per month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
