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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in White Bluff who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. 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 by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
