Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Bays, KY.

One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for people in Bays struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the user does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are other choices to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
