Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - La Feria, TX.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in La Feria battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts the user doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
