Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Burgin, KY.

One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for clients in Burgin battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses the client does not experience being high but also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
