Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Goodman, MS.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Goodman who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
