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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Chancellor 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 administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with 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 associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
