Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Trinity, NC.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Trinity who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to 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 more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
