One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Hialeah Gardens struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low amounts however, the user doesn't experience being high and also does not have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. 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 every day, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
