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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Mays who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
