One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Glendale battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses the client doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are other choices 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 daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
