One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Medical Lake who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough amounts the individual does not experience being high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual 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 per month.
