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

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Holland who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses however, the individual does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
