Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Venus, TX.

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Venus who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low doses however, the individual does not feel high and also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are other choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which 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 per month.
