Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Anderson Island, WA.

One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Anderson Island battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough amounts the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated 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 version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is 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, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
