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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Heth who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived 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 involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
