One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Mannford who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low doses however, the user doesn't feel high but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming 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 costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication 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 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 per month.
