One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in El Reno who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are addiction. With low enough amounts the user does not experience being high but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 a 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 dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. 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 costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone 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 /month.
