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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Naylor who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
