Acamprosate can cost over $300/month without insurance. Learn how to save with coupons, discount cards, and patient assistance programs in 2026.
If you've looked at the price tag on Acamprosate without insurance, you might have been shocked. The retail cash price for a 30-day supply (180 tablets of 333 mg) can run $300 to $340 at many pharmacies. That's a significant monthly expense, especially for a medication you may need to take for months or even years as part of your recovery.
The good news: you almost certainly don't have to pay that much. With the right coupon, discount program, or assistance, the price can drop to as low as $68 per month — or even less. This guide walks you through every way to save money on Acamprosate in 2026.
Let's start with the baseline. Acamprosate Calcium 333 mg is available only as a generic (the brand name Campral was discontinued years ago). Despite being generic, the cash price is higher than many patients expect:
The price difference between pharmacies is enormous — potentially hundreds of dollars for the same medication. This is why comparing prices is so important.
Prescription discount cards are the fastest way to reduce your out-of-pocket cost. These are free to use and work at most pharmacies, even if you have insurance (sometimes they're cheaper than your copay).
Price: As low as $68/month for 180 tablets of Acamprosate Calcium 333 mg. GoodRx is the most widely used prescription discount platform. Simply search for Acamprosate on their website or app, compare prices at nearby pharmacies, and show the coupon to your pharmacist.
Price: Varies by pharmacy — typically competitive with GoodRx. SingleCare coupons are accepted at most major chains and many independent pharmacies. Check their website for the latest Acamprosate pricing in your area.
Several other platforms offer Acamprosate coupons that may beat GoodRx or SingleCare at specific pharmacies:
Pro tip: Prices change frequently. Check 2-3 discount platforms before each refill to find the best price at a pharmacy near you that actually has Acamprosate in stock.
If you're uninsured or underinsured and can't afford Acamprosate even with a coupon, patient assistance programs may help:
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) funds treatment programs across the country that can provide medications for alcohol use disorder at little or no cost to eligible patients. Use the SAMHSA treatment locator to find programs near you.
Many states have their own medication assistance programs for patients with alcohol use disorder. These programs often cover the cost of Acamprosate, Naltrexone, and other AUD medications for uninsured patients. Contact your state's behavioral health or substance abuse authority for details.
NeedyMeds (needymeds.org) maintains a database of patient assistance programs, including those that may cover Acamprosate. They also offer a free discount card.
RxAssist (rxassist.org) is another comprehensive database of patient assistance programs, organized by medication. Search for Acamprosate to see what's available.
Most commercial insurance plans and Medicaid cover generic Acamprosate, typically at a Tier 2 copay of $10-$40/month. Medicare Part D plans also generally cover it. If you have insurance, check your formulary — your copay is likely much less than the cash price.
Some Medicaid managed care plans require prior authorization for Acamprosate. If your pharmacy says it needs a PA, ask your prescriber's office to submit one — it's usually a straightforward process for an FDA-approved AUD medication.
Filling a 90-day supply (540 tablets) instead of monthly can lower your per-month cost, especially through mail-order pharmacies. Many insurance plans offer discounted copays for 90-day fills, and some discount coupons also provide better pricing for larger quantities.
Don't assume all pharmacies charge the same price. During the Acamprosate shortage, prices can vary by $200 or more between pharmacies in the same city. Use Medfinder to find pharmacies with stock, then compare prices using GoodRx or SingleCare before filling.
Mail-order pharmacies often offer lower prices than retail, especially for maintenance medications. Check if your insurance covers mail-order, or compare cash prices at mail-order pharmacies that don't require insurance.
Since only generic versions of Acamprosate are available, there are no manufacturer copay cards like you'd find for brand-name drugs. However, the discount programs listed above serve the same function for generics.
If you've tried everything above and Acamprosate is still too expensive, talk to your prescriber about alternatives that may be more affordable:
Your recovery is too important to let cost be the deciding factor. There are effective, affordable options available. Learn more about alternatives in our guide to Acamprosate alternatives.
Acamprosate's sticker price of $300+ per month is alarming, but very few patients actually need to pay that amount. Between discount coupons ($68/month), insurance coverage ($10-$40/month), and patient assistance programs (potentially free), there are multiple paths to affordable treatment.
The key is to be proactive: compare prices before each refill, use discount tools, and explore assistance programs if you're uninsured. And if you're struggling to find Acamprosate at all, Medfinder can help you locate it in stock near you.
Your recovery is worth investing in — and with the right resources, you can make Acamprosate affordable.
