Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Lone Oak, TX.

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Lone Oak struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low enough doses the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are other options to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
