Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Brownsville, TX.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Brownsville struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough amounts however, the user does not experience high feelings and also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are a few more 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 daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as 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 costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
