Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Gig Harbor, WA.

One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Gig Harbor battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the individual doesn't experience being high and also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
