Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Santa Rosa, CA.

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Santa Rosa who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low doses however, the user does not experience being high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
