One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Grapevine battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses the user does not feel high and also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is 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 opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
