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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Otisco who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate 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 works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
