One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Palatine who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the client doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around 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 that is only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that 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 /month.
