One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Seven Points who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low doses however, the client doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
