Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Horizon City, TX.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Horizon City struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the client doesn't feel high and also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking 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 daily, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
