One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Momence who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low amounts the client does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are other choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid 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 drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
