Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Hardinsburg, IN.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Hardinsburg battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low doses the user doesn't feel high and also does not have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are other options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here 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, it prevents a person 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.
