One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Scobey battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the user does not experience high feelings but also does not experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, 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 around $300.00 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. 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 is also taken daily, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual 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 monthly.
