Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Estillfork, AL.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Estillfork who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized 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 rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of 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'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
