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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Calypso who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
