Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Chetopa, KS.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Chetopa who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
