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

One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Milford who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low amounts the user doesn't feel high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person 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 /month.
