Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Blair, NE.

One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Blair struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough amounts however, the individual doesn't feel high and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are a few more options to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, 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.
