Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Menlo, GA.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Menlo who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of opiate 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 focus and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
