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

One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for people in Callaway who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough amounts the client does not feel high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to 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 about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which 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 anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
