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

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Lakebay who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. In low enough doses the user doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
