Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Rogue River, OR.

One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Rogue River who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low doses however, the client does not experience being high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
