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

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Junction City who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low doses however, the client doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, 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 on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
