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

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Methow battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough amounts the individual does not experience being high but also does not have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from 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 drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, 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 on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
