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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Montrose who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
