One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Hollywood battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low amounts the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
