One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Adrian who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the client doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
