One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Orland Park struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the client doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug 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 medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
