Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Nerinx, KY.

One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Nerinx who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the client doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are other choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
