One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Hershey struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts the user doesn't feel high but also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual 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 /month.
