One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Plano struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low enough doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
