Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Warthen, GA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Warthen who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
