Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Yettem, CA.

One of the out-patient treatment options for clients in Yettem battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low amounts the client does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
