Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Century, FL.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Century 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 strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept 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 ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.

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