One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Sallisaw battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses the individual doesn't experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
