One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Perryville who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the user does not experience being high and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual 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 on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
