One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Tununak who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low amounts however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking 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 costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
