Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Bedford, KY.

One of the out-patient treatment options for clients in Bedford struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low amounts the individual doesn't experience being high but also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug 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 per month.
