One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Arcola struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low doses the individual does not experience being high and also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, 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 which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual 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 every day, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not 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 someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
