Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Bremen, KY.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Bremen struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the individual does not feel high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, 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 opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
