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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Chalmers who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
