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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Milford who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
