Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Bel Air, MD.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Bel Air who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
