Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Congerville, IL.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Congerville struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the client does not experience being high and also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
