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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Edgewood 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 usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
