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

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in SeaTac battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the user doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are other choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
