One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Hannibal struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the client doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming 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 too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
