Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - North Manchester, IN.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in North Manchester who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like 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 by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
