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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Boelus who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity 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 piece of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
