Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Schiller Park, IL.

One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Schiller Park battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low amounts the client does not experience being high but also does not have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking 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 daily, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
