One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Wheaton struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low amounts the client doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that 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 anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
