Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Boonsboro, MD.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Boonsboro 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 only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics 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'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
