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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Paoli 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 usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
