One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Taylor who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the user doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, which 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 a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
