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

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Hurstbourne Acres who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough amounts the client doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
