Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Dyer, IN.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Dyer who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
