One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in La Grange struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low amounts however, the client doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug 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 monthly.
