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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Sunshine who are dependent to opoids such as 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 supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
