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

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Von Ormy who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low doses the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. 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 getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
