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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Mabelvale who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. 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 administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful 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 multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
