Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Eureka Springs, AR.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Eureka Springs 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 administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
