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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Roxobel who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
