One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Genesee Depot who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low amounts however, the client does not experience being high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
