One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Dryden who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the user does not feel high and also does not have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. 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 experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
