Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Easley, SC.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Easley battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low doses the individual does not feel high and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are other choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
