Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Knobel, AR.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Knobel who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
