One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Kirkland who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low doses the user does not experience being high and also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $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 dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
