One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Texas City struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are addictive. With low amounts however, the client doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 a 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 highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
