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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Campbell who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. 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 administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
