Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Coahoma, MS.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Coahoma 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 highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce 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 treatment method they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
