Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Corriganville, MD.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Corriganville who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of opiate 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 helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
