Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Fort Mill, SC.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Fort Mill who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
