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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Loveville who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. 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 dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
