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

One of the out-patient treatment options for clients in Citrus Heights who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the client doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
