Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Berry, AL.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Berry who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with 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 associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
