One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Glen Rose battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough doses the client does not experience being high and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming 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 too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. 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 therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
