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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Hillsboro who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
