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

One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Fieldton struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the client doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
