One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Faulkton struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low doses however, the user doesn't experience being high and also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking 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 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
