Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Morrilton, AR.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Morrilton who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
