One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Collinsville who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the user doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
