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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Mc Intosh who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
