Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Clarks Hill, SC.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Clarks Hill struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the individual does not feel high but also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are other options to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately under $200 per 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 given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, AKA 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 about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
