One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Marinette who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough doses the individual doesn't experience being high and also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking 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 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
