Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Mc Quady, KY.

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Mc Quady who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low doses the individual does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are other choices to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid 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 someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
