One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Warren struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low doses however, the client does not experience being high but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer 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 one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, 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 costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which 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 anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
