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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Duncanville who are dependent to opoids such as 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 administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
