One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Keller battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are addiction. With low amounts however, the user doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
