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

One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Eola who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low amounts however, the individual does not experience being high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA 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 costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
