Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Selbyville, DE.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Selbyville who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
