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

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Ottine battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the individual doesn't feel high and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, 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 injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
