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

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Corbin who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses the user doesn't experience being high but also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are other options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
