Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Proctorville, NC.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Proctorville 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 administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
