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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Glendora who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used 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 minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
