Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Twain Harte, CA.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Twain Harte battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low amounts the user does not feel high and also does not experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately 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 unlike Methadone which is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
