One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Hillsboro struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough amounts the user does not experience being high and also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given 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 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
