Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Candler, FL.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Candler 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 distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment 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 comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
