Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - La Fayette, KY.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in La Fayette who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low doses however, the user does not feel high but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
