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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Mellwood who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not engage in 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 "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
