Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Hemingway, SC.

One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Hemingway battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low amounts however, the individual does not experience high feelings and also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug 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 shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
