One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in El Segundo who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low amounts the individual doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as 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 around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med 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 drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
