One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Brentwood who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the user doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's 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 a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
