Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Whiteland, IN.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Whiteland who are dependent to opoids such as 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 can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
