One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Hillsboro who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the individual doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
