Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Boone, NC.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Boone 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 dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
