Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Hubert, NC.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Hubert who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can 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 meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
