One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Beverly Hills who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. In low amounts however, the individual does not experience being high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's 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, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
