Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Webbville, KY.

One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Webbville struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts the client doesn't experience being high and also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
