One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Underhill Center who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low amounts however, the individual doesn't experience being high but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are other choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
