One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Park Hills battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts the client doesn't feel high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming 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 is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which 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 monthly.
