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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Crumrod 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 only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
