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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Erwin who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived 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 also incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
