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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Redkey who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
