One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Issaquah who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high and also does not have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike 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 price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person 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 every day, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
