One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Peru who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low enough doses however, the client does not experience being high but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks 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 around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
