Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Lathrop, CA.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Lathrop struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low doses however, the user doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are alternative options to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $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 which can only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA 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 costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
