Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Keedysville, MD.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Keedysville who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
