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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Paris 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 administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, 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 rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
