Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Oklaunion, TX.

One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Oklaunion who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low doses however, the user does not experience being high and also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone 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 too is taken daily, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
