Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - New Augusta, MS.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in New Augusta 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 only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also 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 is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
