Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Crawfordsville, AR.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Crawfordsville who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept 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 approach that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
