Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Colfax, NC.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Colfax who are opiate dependent to 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 administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by 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 concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

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