Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Fedscreek, KY.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Fedscreek battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough amounts the individual doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, 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 drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as 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 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that 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 in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
