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

One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Verona who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the user does not experience high feelings but also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which 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 is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
