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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Great Mills who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
