Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Beaufort, NC.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Beaufort who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
