One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Whitehouse struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low enough amounts the client does not feel high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
