Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Potter, NE.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Potter struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low amounts the individual doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person 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 costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
