Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Monon, IN.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Monon who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant 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. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
