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

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Webster who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts the individual does not feel high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in 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 med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
