One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Lanai City who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low amounts however, the individual does not feel high and also does not experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking 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 daily, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
