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

One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for people in Inverness struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough doses the individual does not feel high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
