One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Marengo who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses however, the client does not experience being high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, 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 is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, 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 in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
