One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Cle Elum struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low amounts however, the client doesn't experience being high but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA 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 is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. 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 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 monthly.
