Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Big Creek, CA.

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Big Creek struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low doses the individual does not experience being high but also does not have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
