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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Waterloo who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
