Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Bourbon, IN.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Bourbon who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as 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 also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
