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

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in San Clemente struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low doses however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
