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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Rosedale who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
