One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Galena Park who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low doses the user does not experience being high and also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
