Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Rincon, GA.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Rincon who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
