Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Joiner, AR.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Joiner 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 strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept 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 typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
