One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Cameron who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts the individual does not experience being high and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
