Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Winside, NE.

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Winside who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low amounts however, the user doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
