Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Pierceville, IN.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Pierceville who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
