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

One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for clients in Brownsville who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low amounts the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are other options to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual 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 every day, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't 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 experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
