Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Gray Hawk, KY.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Gray Hawk who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low amounts however, the client doesn't feel high and also does not have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming 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 is also taken every day, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate 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, it prevents a person 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 monthly.
