One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Hinckley who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. In low amounts the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming 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 on a daily basis, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned 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 high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
