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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Hurtsboro 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 usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate 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" treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
