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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Hayden who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize 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 formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
