Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Aimwell, LA.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Aimwell who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
