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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Granite Falls 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 usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
