One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Cleburne battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low doses however, the individual does not feel high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate 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, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
