Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Aynor, SC.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Aynor who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low doses however, the user doesn't experience being high and also does not have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
