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

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Bethera 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 also and are addictive. In low enough amounts the client doesn't feel high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
