Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Kempton, IN.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Kempton who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the user doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person 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 daily, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
