Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Columbus, NE.

One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Columbus who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low doses the client doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder 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 an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
