Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Baton Rouge, LA.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Baton Rouge 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 dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
