Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Evening Shade, AR.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Evening Shade who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like 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 gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
