One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Livonia struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low doses the user doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
