One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Arlington who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low amounts the client does not experience being high and also does not experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
