Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Valdosta, GA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Valdosta 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 strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through 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 harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
