Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Mount Sterling, KY.

One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Mount Sterling struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts the user doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
