Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Tahoe Vista, CA.

One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Tahoe Vista who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low amounts the client does not experience high feelings but also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. 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 someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
