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

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

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
