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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Fairland who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be 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 treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
