Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - East Texas, PA.

One of the outpatient treatment options for people in East Texas who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the user doesn't feel high and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
