One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Benbrook struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses the individual doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that 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 injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
