Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Plano, TX.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Plano battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low enough doses however, the user doesn't feel high but also does not have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are other options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
