One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Waxahachie who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the individual does not experience high feelings and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
