Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Coward, SC.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Coward who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. 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 administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery 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 stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
