Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Graniteville, SC.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Graniteville who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
