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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Tyner who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
