Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Guthrie, KY.

One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Guthrie who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are other options to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option 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 in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
