One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Cottage Grove who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low doses however, the user does not experience being high but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, 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 on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
