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

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Mount Enterprise battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts however, the user does not experience high feelings and also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming 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 costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
