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

One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in San Antonio who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. In low enough amounts however, the user does not experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently 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 on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder 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 used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
