Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Avon Park, FL.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Avon Park who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
