Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Moselle, MS.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Moselle 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 dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical 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" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
