Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Dayton, IN.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Dayton 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 highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
