Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Armorel, AR.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Armorel who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical 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 multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
