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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Gattman who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be 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 used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned 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 involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
