Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Lake Isabella, CA.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Lake Isabella who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low doses the client does not experience being high but also does not have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
