One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Okeene struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough doses the user doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
