One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Livonia Center who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low doses the individual does not feel high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks 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 too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid 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, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
