One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Lima who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low amounts the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
