Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Rio Frio, TX.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Rio Frio who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low amounts the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
