Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Clyde Hill, WA.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Clyde Hill who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough amounts however, the client does not feel high but also does not have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
