Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Whitesburg, KY.

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Whitesburg who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the client does not experience being high and also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 monthly. 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 given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
