One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Evanston battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low doses the user doesn't feel high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses 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 is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, 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 monthly.
