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

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Purdum who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are other choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. 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 is also taken daily, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
