Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Bacliff, TX.

One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Bacliff who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts the user doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are other choices to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
