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

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Hallie who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low doses however, the client does not experience being high and also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual 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 on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
