Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Lydia, SC.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Lydia who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly 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 substance abuse counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
