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

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in West Point battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low doses however, the user does not experience being high and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, 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 opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual 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 per month.
