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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Husser who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
