Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Midway City, CA.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Midway City who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the client doesn't experience being high and also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person 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 every day, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not 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 a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
