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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Lincolnton who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
