Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Rollingwood, TX.

One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Rollingwood who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the user doesn't feel high and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
