Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Chrisney, IN.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Chrisney who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
