One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Texico battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low doses the individual doesn't experience being high and also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, 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 in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
