Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Lawson, AR.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Lawson who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like 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 by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
