One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Brea who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low amounts the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis 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 one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, AKA 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 costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
