Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Ehrhardt, SC.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Ehrhardt who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea 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" approach that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
