Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Etta, MS.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Etta who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed 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 experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
