Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - La Place, LA.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in La Place who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage 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 envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
