Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Penn Valley, CA.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Penn Valley who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the client doesn't experience being high but also does not have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, 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 approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
