Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Aromas, CA.

One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Aromas battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low doses however, the individual doesn't feel high but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are other choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, 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 in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
