Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Eastover, SC.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Eastover who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
