One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Sturtevant battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough doses the user does not experience being high and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
