Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Elko, SC.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Elko who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
