One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in La Grange who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are addiction. With low enough doses the user doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
