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

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Mount Aukum battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough amounts the client doesn't experience being high and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which 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 injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
