Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Mc Henry, KY.

One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Mc Henry battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low amounts however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not 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 clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about 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 is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
