One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Richton Park battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low enough doses the client does not feel high but also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual 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.
