One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Allen who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the user doesn't feel high but also does not have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
