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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Summerfield 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 only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
