Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Mound Bayou, MS.

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

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
