Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Boiling Springs, NC.

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

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, 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. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
