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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Gassville who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
