One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Crystal Lake Park struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the client does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person 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 every day, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
