Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Bee Spring, KY.

One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Bee Spring who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses the client does not experience being high but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently 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 on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $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 which is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which 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 injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
