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

One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Granada Hills battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough amounts the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that 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 shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
