One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Carrollton who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough amounts the user does not experience being high and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming 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 every day, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that 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 per month.
