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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Rock Hill who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed 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 easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
