Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Kunia, HI.

One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for clients in Kunia battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the user does not experience being high but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not 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 someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
