Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Longville, LA.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Longville who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
