Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Rich Square, NC.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Rich Square who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
