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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Wesley Chapel who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
