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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Leo who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not engage 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 rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
