One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Zeeland who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low amounts the client doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 per 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 dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
