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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Nanafalia who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
