Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Universal, IN.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Universal who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus 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 intended to be a stand-alone activity 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 piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
