Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Ossian, IN.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Ossian who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
