Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Bloomburg, TX.

One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Bloomburg battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low amounts the user doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual 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 on a daily basis, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone 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 a month.
