Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Battle Ground, IN.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Battle Ground who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
