Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Peoria, IL.

One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Peoria struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low doses however, the client doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, 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 around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
