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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Natchez who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
