Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Peak, SC.

One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Peak struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low amounts however, the user does not experience high feelings and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are alternative choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, 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 administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming 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 every day, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
