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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Cushman who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like 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 opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
