Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Calvin, KY.

One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Calvin who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low amounts the client does not experience being high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
