Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Studio City, CA.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Studio City battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low amounts the client does not feel high and also does not have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone 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.
