One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Coal City who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low amounts however, the individual doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult 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 another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is 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, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
