Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Menard, TX.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Menard battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low enough doses the individual doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
