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

One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Menlo struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the client doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are alternative choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person 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 too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling 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.
