One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Manhattan Beach struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low doses the individual does not feel high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which 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 anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
