Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Mountain Home, TN.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Mountain Home 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 highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
