Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Bellevue, KY.

One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Bellevue struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough amounts the individual doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are a few more choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
