Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Dale, SC.

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Dale who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low amounts the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are other choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA 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 approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone 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.
