Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Silver Creek, MS.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Silver Creek 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 administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control 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 idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
