One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Castle Hills battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low amounts however, the user doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that 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 feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
