OUT-PATIENT DETOX IS OUR SPECIALTY

Detoxification from methadone poses additional issues that require an experienced and knowledgeable medical staff.  New Beginnings Detox (NBD) has the staff, knowledge, experience and ability to detox methadone patients on an Out-Patient basis at a faster rate and more comfortably than ever before.  Detoxification from methadone takes longer than from short acting opiates such as heroin, oxycodone, Vicodin® or Lorcet®.

How it Works:

Intake Interview and Psychosocial Assessment

A preliminary assessment is conducted and the patient is evaluated to determine if they are eligible for the Out-Patient Program.  The NBD Program requirements, the various treatment options, and the fee structure are all discussed.  A confidential interview and intake and orientation is conducted.  Then, a psychosocial assessment is performed by a member of our clinical staff who is a Certified Addiction Professional [CAP]. 

Pre-Procedure Medical Evaluation

The detoxification process begins with all NBD patients receiving a complete medical history and physical examination. This may include a laboratory analysis and urine toxicology screen. Our doctors remain a part of the multi-disciplinary team that cares for the patient throughout detoxification 

Induction Phase - Beginning the Process of Detoxification

The Induction Phase is the medically monitored startup of detox.  Interim medications are prescribed for a period of time initially to allow transition from methadone to SUBOXONE®.  After close monitoring, SUBOXONE® is prescribed when an opioid-dependent individual has abstained from using opioids for 16–24 hours and is in the early stages of opioid withdrawal.  Other medications are prescribed at this time to reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings, assist with sleep and reduce anxiety.

Stabilization Phase – Controlling the Cravings

The Stabilization Phase has begun when the patient no longer has cravings for opiates.

Taper Phase – Getting Free

The Taper Phase is reached when the patient is doing well on a steady dose of SUBOXONE®.  The patient is then stepped-down from the SUBOXONE® therapy until they are drug-free. The entire detox including the taper is typically over 6-8 weeks.

OUT-PATIENT COUNSELING THERAPY

All patients attend an Out-Patient counseling program while in detox run by a team of experienced licensed Certified Addiction Professionals. We offer several group therapy options that will fit any schedule.
