Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Pittsboro, MS.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Pittsboro who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
