Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Arnold, NE.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Arnold 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 administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides 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 brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
