Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Leiters Ford, IN.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Leiters Ford who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
