Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Madisonville, KY.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Madisonville who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids also and are addiction. With low doses the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA 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 is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
