One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Tulia who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low doses the individual does not experience high feelings but also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone 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 is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
