Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Elizabeth, AR.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Elizabeth 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 dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
