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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Wilmington who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
