One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Windsor Locks battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses however, the user does not experience being high and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are other choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, 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 costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
