One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Wake Island battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low doses however, the individual does not feel high and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are other choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
