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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Reisterstown 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 highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
