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

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Bloomfield struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low amounts the individual does not feel high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
