One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Williamson who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough amounts the client doesn't feel high but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
