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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Advance who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
