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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Toccopola 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 strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
