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

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Wells struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low doses however, the client doesn't experience being high and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are other choices to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. 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 daily, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. 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 someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
