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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Wye Mills who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
