One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Pukalani who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the user doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
