Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - El Paso, TX.

One of the outpatient treatment options for people in El Paso struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low doses however, the user does not experience high feelings but also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are other choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken 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 drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
