One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Redmond struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low doses the user doesn't experience being high but also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get 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 medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
