Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Mineral Springs, AR.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Mineral Springs 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 strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
