Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Jonesville, SC.

One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Jonesville struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low amounts the client does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.

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