Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Santa Clarita, CA.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Santa Clarita who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low doses the user doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately 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 highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person 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 daily, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
