Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Smithdale, MS.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Smithdale who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
