Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Braddock Heights, MD.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Braddock Heights who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier 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 works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
