One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Deerfield who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low doses the user does not experience being high but also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are other choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA 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 around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone 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.
