One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Del Valle who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low amounts however, the individual does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 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 given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
