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

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Elyria struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the client doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug 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 /month.
