Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Cedar Mountain, NC.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Cedar Mountain 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 strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
