One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Somonauk struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the client does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual 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 is also taken daily, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
