One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Fairview Heights battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts however, the client does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's 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, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
