One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Denison who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the client doesn't experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. 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 getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
