One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Rutland who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the user does not experience being high and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
