Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Little Rock Air Force Base, AR.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Little Rock Air Force Base 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 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 administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
