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

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Malibu struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low amounts however, the individual does not experience being high and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can 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 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
