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

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Langtry who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low amounts the client does not feel high and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are a few more options to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
