Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Newman, CA.

One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Newman who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the individual does not experience high feelings and also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, 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 is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
