Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Argillite, KY.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Argillite battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low doses the client doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are other options to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
