Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Mc Kittrick, CA.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Mc Kittrick who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low amounts however, the user doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are other choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
