Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Owingsville, KY.

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Owingsville who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts the client does not experience being high but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication 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 shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
