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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Chesterton who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are 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 easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
