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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Dyer who are opiate dependent to 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 may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this form of 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 works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
