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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Daleville who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
