Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Fyffe, AL.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Fyffe who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
