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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Combs 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 may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
