Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Ether, NC.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Ether who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like 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 dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
