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

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Miley struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the user doesn't feel high and also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the drug. 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 more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
