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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Pamplico who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control 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 meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
