Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Loraine, TX.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Loraine struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low amounts the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are other options to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug 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 different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
