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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Starks 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 dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived 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 also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
