Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Sacul, TX.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Sacul who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low amounts the user doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
