Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Frazier Park, CA.

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Frazier Park who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low amounts the client doesn't feel high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are other options to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it 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 /month.
