Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Springfield, KY.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Springfield who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the client does not experience being high but also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is 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, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
