Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Farmersville, TX.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Farmersville struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the user doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication 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 medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
