One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Waco who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the client does not feel high and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
