One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Dallas battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low doses however, the user doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
