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

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Calexico who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low enough doses however, the user does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual 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 daily, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
