Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Morro Bay, CA.

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Morro Bay struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the user doesn't feel high but also does not experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. 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 dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual 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 per month.
