Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Gore Springs, MS.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Gore Springs who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be 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 administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
