One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Palatine Bridge battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low doses the client doesn't experience being 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 opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming 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 daily, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. 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 getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
