Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Debord, KY.

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Debord who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts however, the client does not experience high feelings but also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone 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 too is taken every day, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
