Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Milford, DE.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Milford 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 usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
