Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Texarkana, AR.

One of the out-patient treatment options for clients in Texarkana who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
