Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Walburg, TX.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Walburg struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low amounts however, the client does not feel high but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. 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 every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person 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 daily, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
