Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Brunswick, NE.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Brunswick who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are alternative options to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not 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 getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
