One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Mott who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough amounts the client does not experience being high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about 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 different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
