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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Bellmore 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 distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
