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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Calvin who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered 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 going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
