Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - San Mateo, CA.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in San Mateo battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low amounts however, the individual does not feel high but also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are a few more options to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA 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 costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
