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

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Mico battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough doses the user doesn't experience being high and also does not have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another 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, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
