Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Tiplersville, MS.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Tiplersville 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 strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
