Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Heidrick, KY.

One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Heidrick struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the user does not feel high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
