One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Lake View who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough amounts the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
