One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Rantoul struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough doses the individual doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that 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 injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
