Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Placedo, TX.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Placedo who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low enough doses the individual does not experience being high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are other choices to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to 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 around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking 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 is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. 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 a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
