Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Tignall, GA.

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

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish 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 idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
