Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Port Angeles, WA.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Port Angeles struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts the client does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices 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 drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it 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 /month.
