One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Underwood battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low doses the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate 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, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
