One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Lisle battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts the user does not feel high and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
