Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Lovelock, NV.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Lovelock struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the individual does not experience being high but also does not experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price 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 unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, 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 on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug 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 shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
