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

One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Highland Haven struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low enough amounts however, the client does not experience being high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
