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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Huntingburg who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
