One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Lemont Furnace who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts however, the client does not feel high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA 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 about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
