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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Tchula who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
