Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Cerulean, KY.

One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Cerulean battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low enough doses the client does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks 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 on a daily basis, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
