Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Cave City, AR.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Cave City who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
