One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Rolla who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the individual doesn't feel high but also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
