One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Keota who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low doses the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $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 structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person 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.
