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

One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Danville battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in 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 outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone 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 /month.
