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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Roebuck who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
