One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Bellaire 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 of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low enough amounts the user does not feel high but also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual 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.
