One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Cave Junction who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low doses the client does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
