One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Hollywood who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
