Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Kress, TX.

One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Kress who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low enough amounts the client does not experience being high and also does not have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are alternative choices to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
