Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Alexandria, NE.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Alexandria battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low doses the client doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that 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 every day, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
