Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Biloxi, MS.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Biloxi 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 distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is 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 focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed 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 incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
