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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Liberty who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
