Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Bruce, MS.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Bruce who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
