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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Cornelius who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
