Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Hollyvilla, KY.

One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Hollyvilla struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the individual does not experience being high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are other options to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which 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.
