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

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Wahkiacus battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low doses however, the client doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are a few more options to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. 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 high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
