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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Skipperville who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with 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 brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

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