One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Whitesboro who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low doses the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
