Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Carrolls, WA.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Carrolls who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses the client doesn't experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug 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 different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
