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

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Port Royal struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low doses the user doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are other choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
