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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Florence who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
