Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Running Springs, CA.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Running Springs battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low doses the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which 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 anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
