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

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

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept 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 ideally involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
