Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Davie, FL.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Davie 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 dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
