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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Wolflake 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 supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned 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 ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
