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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Churubusco who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
