Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Goldthwaite, TX.

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Goldthwaite who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the individual does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming 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 too is taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
