One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Woodridge who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are addictive. With low amounts the individual doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming 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 is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
