Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Giddings, TX.

One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Giddings who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low amounts the individual does not experience high feelings and also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
