One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Darrington who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low doses however, the individual does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which 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 shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
