Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Fuquay Varina, NC.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Fuquay Varina who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
