Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Addy, WA.

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Addy struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the client does not feel high but also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
