Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Bordelonville, LA.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Bordelonville who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
