One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Marengo who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts the user doesn't experience being high and also doesn't 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 to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
