Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Coleridge, NE.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Coleridge who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts however, the client does not feel high and also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
