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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Kewanna 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 administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment 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 person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
