Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Heiskell, TN.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Heiskell 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 usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
