One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in White Lake battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the individual does not experience high feelings but also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it 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 per month.
