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

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

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
