Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Bradley, SC.

One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Bradley struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the user doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are alternative choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which 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 drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming 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 is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
