Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Grace, MS.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Grace who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
