Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Kelly, NC.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Kelly who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
