One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Bay City who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough doses the client doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
