Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Rosman, NC.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Rosman who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. 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 administered in recovery it can help individuals who are 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 harmful 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 multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
