Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Drake, KY.

One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Drake who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the individual does not experience high feelings and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling 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.
