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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Marrero 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 strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
