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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Corydon 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 distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
