One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Flat Top battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low enough doses the individual does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate 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 structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, 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 daily, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
