Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Ashland, AL.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Ashland who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
