Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Mobile, AL.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Mobile who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
