One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Angola battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming 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 is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
