One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Waggoner who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the user does not feel high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are alternative options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
