One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Glencoe who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low enough doses however, the user doesn't feel high and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid 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 getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
