Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Chewalla, TN.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Chewalla 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 distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
