One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Papaikou who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the user does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
