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

One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Payneville struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low amounts however, the individual does not experience high feelings but also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
