One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Garland who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low doses however, the user doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that 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 is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option 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.
