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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Dubberly 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 can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of opiate 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 works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
