One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Streator who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough amounts the user doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices 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 in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $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 dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
