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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Woodside who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
