One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Sycamore who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured 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 version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
