Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Benton, CA.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Benton struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the user doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, 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 every day, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
