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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Cove City who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
