Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Minden, NE.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Minden who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the individual does not experience high feelings and also does not have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone 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 about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. 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 a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
