Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Gunnison, MS.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Gunnison who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery 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 the person can stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
