Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Valencia, CA.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Valencia battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the client doesn't feel high and also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
