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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Tishomingo who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to 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 dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
