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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Welsh who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned 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 ideally include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
