One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Monroe who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low amounts however, the individual does not feel high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 per 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 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 every day, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
