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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Zellwood who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
