Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Wiggins, MS.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Wiggins who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in typical 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 multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
