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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Lyles who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured 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 individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
