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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Deep Run who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
