One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Chickasha who are struggling 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 opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low doses however, the user doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which 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 anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
