One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Garden Ridge battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low amounts the individual doesn't feel high but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
