Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Middletown, MD.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Middletown who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual 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 envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
