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

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Gonzales who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low amounts however, the individual does not feel high and also does not experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly structured clinics, 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 containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
