One of the out-patient treatment options for clients in Allen who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts the individual does not experience being high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
