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

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Exeter battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low doses however, the individual does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming 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 costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that 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 shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
