Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Cedar Lake, IN.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Cedar Lake 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 only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
