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

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Symsonia struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low doses the user doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are a few more options to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
