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

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Drayton struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the user does not experience being high and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are alternative choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
