Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Columbia, MD.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Columbia who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
