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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Elkton who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed 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 include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
