One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Cairo who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the client does not experience being high and also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
