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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Eros who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured 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 treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
