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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Florien who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
