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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Clinton who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
