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

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Rochester struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low amounts the client does not feel high but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual 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 every day, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
