Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Keyport, WA.

One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Keyport who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses however, the client doesn't experience being high and also does not have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming 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 every day, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
