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

One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Wells battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low amounts however, the client does not feel high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
