One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Seat Pleasant who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low doses however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, 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 costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
