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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Chase 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 may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
