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

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Medina battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts the user doesn't experience being high and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are a few more choices 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 on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
