One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Pateros struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly 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 opioids. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
