Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Franklinton, NC.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Franklinton 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 administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
