One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Whitesboro struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low doses however, the user doesn't experience being high but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual 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 every day, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
