Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Schaumburg, IL.

One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Schaumburg battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low enough amounts however, the client does not experience being high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
