One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Deerfield battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the user does not experience being high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
