Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Miracle, KY.

One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Miracle battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low doses the client doesn't feel high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic 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 drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone 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 too is taken daily, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's 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 getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
