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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Conway who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing 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 harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
