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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Linden who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
