One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Otis Orchards who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the individual does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug 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.
