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

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Rolling Hills who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low amounts the individual does not experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
