One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Pekin struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low doses however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid 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 price of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual 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 daily, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
