Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Camden, SC.

One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for people in Camden who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low amounts the client does not feel high and also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
