One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Fiskdale who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low doses the individual does not feel high but also does not experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
