Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Coal Run Village, KY.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Coal Run Village who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low amounts however, the client doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month 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 opioids. An individual 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 on a daily basis, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
