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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Phil Campbell who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as 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 typically involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
