One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Millbrae who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low amounts however, the client doesn't feel high but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are alternative options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone 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 per month.
