One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Taylor who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low amounts the user doesn't feel high but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed 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 of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. 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 feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
