One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Lansing who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the client doesn't experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more 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 on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, 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 around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
