Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Brownsboro, AL.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Brownsboro who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment 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 crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
