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

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Paramount battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low doses the individual doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
