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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Negreet who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
