One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Deerfield Beach who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough doses however, the client doesn't feel high and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, 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 costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not 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 a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
