Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Jeremiah, KY.

One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Jeremiah battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low amounts the user does not feel high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual 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 costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
