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

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Hima who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low amounts however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel 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 an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. 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 shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
