One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Angola struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are addiction. With low enough doses the client doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
