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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Cecilia who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
