Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Georgetown, IN.

One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Georgetown battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the individual does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
