Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Crowville, LA.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Crowville who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
